Question 2

Do you have to get a ferry?

Answer

No. If you are travelling to us from further south or the east coast via Glasgow you can drive along the M8 west and cross the Erskine Bridge. From here follow the A82 to Tarbet then turn left onto the A83 and over the beautiful "Rest And Be Thankful". Before you reach Cairndow, turn left onto the A815 and follow that road directly to the Holy Loch Marina and Dunoon.
